Midnight Jewelcrafting Changes

Most of the Jewelcrafting system is the same as in The War Within. Only a few things have changed, so if you understood Jewelcrafting there, you will have no trouble adapting to Midnight.

  • Quality Changes - Gems and reagents now only have two quality levels (Silver and Gold) instead of three.
  • Raw Gems Have Quality - All raw uncut gems now have quality (Silver and Gold) unlike in The War Within where they had none. Eversong Diamonds are the exception and remain quality-less.
  • Artisan Jewelcrafter's Moxie - The BoP currency Artisan's Acuity that you got from earning profession Knowledge in The War Within has been changed to a profession-specific currency, Artisan Jewelcrafter's Moxie. You can now only use it for Jewelcrafting-specific recipes.
  • Epic Profession Gear - Epic-quality profession gear has been added. They provide the same skill bonus as Rare gear but come with higher secondary stats (Resourcefulness, Multicraft, etc.).
  • Vials Lost a Crafted Tier - In The War Within, vendors sold bronze-quality vials so crafters could profit from selling silver and gold. With bronze quality gone, vendors now sell silver, so only gold-quality vials are worth crafting.
  • No Extra Socket Consumable - There is no item that adds sockets to gear in Midnight (apart from the Great Vault). Players rely on sockets naturally dropping on their gear, so cut gem demand will be lower than in The War Within where you could add sockets to all your jewelry.

Jewelcrafting Knowledge in Midnight

One-Time Sources

These are one-time sources of Jewelcrafting Knowledge Points. Once you collect them, they are gone forever on that character.

Weekly Sources

In Midnight, there are four weekly sources of profession Knowledge, giving you around 20 Knowledge Points per week. Patron Crafting Orders are your main source, supplemented by treasure drops, a weekly quest, and an Inscription treatise.

Source Details
Patron Crafting Orders (~12 KP) Patron orders are the main source of Knowledge Points. You will receive multiple orders throughout the week. Some of them will reward you with Glimmer of Midnight Jewelcrafting Knowledge, but not all orders give Knowledge Points.
Weekly Quest (3 KP) Your profession trainer will offer a weekly quest that asks you to complete 3 Crafting Orders. This rewards a Thalassian Jewelcrafter's Notebook worth 3 Knowledge Points and resets every week. If you don't see the quest, you first need to complete the Crafters Needed questline from Captain Flaresworn to unlock it.
Weekly Drops (4 KP) Each week, you can loot 1 of each of the following items from treasures scattered around the new zones: Void-Touched Eversong Diamond Fragments and Harandar Stone Sample.
Inscription Treatise (1 KP) To get a Thalassian Treatise on Jewelcrafting, you need to submit a Public Crafting Order since they are bind-on-pickup (BoP). Treatises are Warbound, so if you have an alt with Inscription, you can craft them and send them to your main.
Darkmoon Faire (3 KP / month) Once a month, the Darkmoon Faire comes to town and you can complete a quick profession quest for +3 Knowledge Points and +2 Profession Skill. It's not a weekly source, but don't skip it. The Faire starts on the Sunday before the first Monday of each month.
Catch-up System If you fall behind or start late, you will receive Flicker of Midnight Jewelcrafting Knowledge from Patron orders instead of Glimmers. These only drop when you're behind, so don't worry if you start late.

Jewelcrafting Knowledge Treasures

There are 8 Jewelcrafting treasures in Midnight, giving 24 Knowledge Points in total (3 KP each). They are located in Silvermoon City, Eversong Woods, and Voidstorm.

Jewelcrafting Specializations

There are four specialization trees, unlocked at skill levels 25, 50, 60, and 75. Pick based on what you want to craft and sell.

  • Glamorous Gems - Gem cuts and Prisms, one sub-spec per color.
  • Alluring Accessories - Epic rings, necklaces, and profession accessories for JC, Enchanting, and Inscription.
  • Proficient Processor - Reagents, plus Prospecting and Crushing improvements.
  • Thoughtful Throughput - Crafting stats.

Midnight Jewelcrafting Specialization Guide & Best Builds

Prospecting & Crushing

Prospecting and Crushing are Jewelcrafting's two raw material processing abilities, both learned from the trainer early on. Prospecting breaks down 5 ore into gems and reagents, while Crushing turns uncut gems into Glimmering Gemdust. The Proficient Processor specialization tree improves both activities through dedicated sub-specs.

Crushing

Crushing turns uncut gems into Glimmering Gemdust, which is used in many Jewelcrafting recipes. Both uncommon and rare gems have the same Gemdust yield, roughly ~0.67 per crush (with talents). Since uncommon gems are not used in many crafts, they will likely be cheaper on the Auction House, making them the more cost-effective choice for Crushing.

Prospecting

Every prospect yields Duskshrouded Stone and Crystalline Glass as guaranteed reagents. On top of that, each ore type drops specific gems. Eversong Diamonds do not drop by default, you need to invest in the Proficient Processor tree where each ore has a dedicated node (Copper Consumer, Tin-vestigator, Silver Scrapper, Thorium Thresher) that unlocks the chance of finding them.

Profession Equipment

Epic profession gear is new in Midnight. In The War Within, professions only had Green and Rare gear. Epic gear gives the same Skill as Rare, but has higher secondary stats like Resourcefulness, Multicraft, and Ingenuity.

Profession Gear for Jewelcrafters

Jewelcrafters craft their own Loupes (accessory). Your Tool comes from Engineering, and the second Accessory (Cover) comes from Leatherworking.

Craftable Profession Equipment

Jewelcrafters craft profession accessories for Inscription and Enchanting.

Renown Recipes

Jewelcrafting has a couple of epic rings and a House Decor recipe locked behind faction Renown. You need Renown Rank 5 with each faction. The two rings are the important ones here since they are crafted epic gear.

Recipe Description Faction Vendor
Loa Worshiper's Band Epic ring Amani Tribe (Rank 5) Magovu
Signet of Azerothian Blessings Epic ring Hara'ti (Rank 5) Naynar
Bejeweled Sin'dorei Lyre House Decor Silvermoon Court (Rank 5) Caeris Fairdawn

Midnight Jewelcrafting Recipes

Gems are the core of Jewelcrafting. There are four gem colors in Midnight, each with a primary stat: Garnet (red, Critical Strike), Amethyst (purple, Mastery), Lapis (blue, Versatility), and Peridot (green, Haste). Every color has one pure single-stat gem and three hybrid dual-stat gems. Each cut has an uncommon version and a rare Flawless upgrade with higher stat values. Eversong Diamonds are epic meta gems that grant Primary Stat plus a special effect.
